The story is about a battle over the air supply on the planet Druidia, but much of the parody is Brooks targeting the merchandising mania surrounding the Star Wars movies.

Bill Pullman stars as the hero Lone Starr, with Daphne Zuniga as the heroine, Princess Vespa. The cast includes John Candy as the Chewbacca-style sidekick, Barf, and Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, a Darth Vader wannabe.

The price of admission includes 10 four-ounce samples and the screening.

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989): Two high-school goofballs (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) who must pass a history report to keep from flunking out of high school resort to time travel to gather historical figures.

The movie has an 81 percent favorable score on the movie website www.rottentomatoes.com, although many of the critical comments were similar to these: “good goofy fun,” “just stupid enough to be endearing” and “pretty funny even if it embarrasses you to admit it.”

Whoa.

The price of admission includes the screening, three beer samples and a pint to sip during the movie.

Comedy double-feature

Ohio Theatre, 39 E. State St.

The waning days of the CAPA Summer Movie Series will feature a pair of comedy mockumentaries directed by Christopher Guest.

In Waiting for Guffman (1996), Guest stars as a way-off-Broadway director and diva fresh off a not-so-successful theatrical staging of the firefighting movie Backdraft. He agrees to stage a community-theater production in a small Missouri town, but the clueless cast (including comedy pros Fred Willard, Parker Posey, Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara) causes him problems.

Guest lampoons pups on parade in Best of Show (2000), using much the same ensemble to spoof the competitive world of dog shows. Willard’s performance as a clueless TV commentator (“And to think that in some countries these dogs are eaten”) drew raves.

Linklater twin bill

Wexner Center for the Arts, 1871 N. High St.

The Wex’s retrospective of the films of director Richard Linklater continues with a drama and a comedy.

Set in 1937, Me and Orson Welles(2009) stars Zac Efron as a teenager with a role in a Welles stage production of Julius Caesar, which gives him a look at the backstage battles among Welles and the cast members. British actor Christian McKay received acclaim for his portrayal of the temperamental Welles.

In the comedy Bernie (2012), Jack Black plays a cheery funeral director in a small Texas town whose odd friendship with a crabby widow (Shirley MacLaine) takes an unusual turn.
